Hey wait! You have choices!

Gaming by ear

We would generally advise against putting a sea monster on your head, but we'll make an exception for the Razer Kraken 7.1 Gaming Headset. This Kraken shares all the memorable experience-making qualities of its eponymous watery beast without the nasty, damp tentacles and maw.

But where the Razer Kraken really shines in comparison to an actual kraken is in its ergonomics. You could spend hours with the Razer Kraken on your head comfortably. In fact, this headset, which slots in between our Carcharias Gaming Headset for PC/Xbox 360 and the BlackShark Expert 2.0 Gaming Headset, has the same form factor as the Razer Kraken Pro, field-tested by hundreds of professional gamers. And if an actual kraken comes glomping up to you in game, the Razer Kraken's 7.1 virtual surround-sound engine will immediately let you know where to aim to take it out.
